The Resort

42 acres of luxurious relaxation

La Casa del Zorro has reopened its doors, replete with all the romance and style visitors first
enjoyed back in 1937. Situated on forty-two acres and adjacent to Southern California's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the luscious desert and this premier resort offer serenity, solitude and unassuming luxury.

La Casa del Zorro is beautifully appointed, evoking both elegance and comfort, in a relaxed setting. Zorro’s
forty-four poolside guest rooms beckon our guests to submerge themselves in requiescence. Zorro’s guest rooms
marry rustic desert charm with modern comfort. Each room greets its visitors with high vaulted ceilings,
tile floors, wood burning fireplaces and marble bathtubs. Our forty-four poolside guest rooms are
complemented by nineteen private casitas nestled around Zorro’s spacious property. The Casitas are well
equipped with multiple bedrooms and common areas, suitable to comfortably host larger groups of family or
friends. Each casita boasts its own water feature, pool or hot tub (with the exception of Tamarisk). Both the guest rooms and the casitas are appointed with
terrycloth robes, comfortable slippers, coffeemakers with premium coffee and super sized flat panel TVs.

Zorro’s five lighted tennis courts, two Pickle Ball courts, three guest-use pools, well-appointed fitness center (complete with
fitness advisor), yoga studio (complete with instructor and classes) and our world class Spa offering
treatments to sooth the soul, as well as the skin, will round out your La Casa del Zorro experience. If work

The Desert

no shortage of wonders so close to
home

Located in Borrego Springs, California, La Casa del Zorro is nestled in the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, ranked by National Geographic magazine as the best state park in California. La Casa
del Zorro enjoys a unique setting in the midst of the scenic 600,000-acre Anza-Borrego desert, a
nature-land of serenity and solitude. Cradled by the Santa Rosa Mountains, towering six thousand feet
over the desert floor, the resort is close to hiking trails and endless opportunities to explore
unspoiled canyons, buttes, and mesas. Borrego Springs is one of the few "dark-sky communities"
in the world. The skies are illuminated by millions of bright stars and galaxies due to night light
restrictions. In spring, the pink and lavender Sand Verbena wildflowers cover acres of the desert
floor.

Our History

a southern california classic
resort

The hand-hewn beams and old adobe walls in the lobby of La Casa del Zorro are reminders of
the resort’s heritage. Our first guests arrived in the fall of 1933, when the resort was just a
house on the old Burks Ranch.

Over the years, as more guests came to the quiet retreat, the resort began to grow. Visitors
far and wide, from Los Angeles to Switzerland, from San Diego to the Netherlands, traveled to Borrego
Springs to experience the rejuvenating desert, sparkling sunshine, and nights so dark and clear that the
stars in the sky seemed closer to earth than anyplace else.

Decades ago, guests gathered around the kitchen table for their meals. Some even washed
dishes. Today, fine dining in the Butterfield Dining Room and the Rose Garden Terrace is a hallmark of
the resort, and so is the custom of families returning to visit as the years go by. Many of our guests
and staff have known the resort since they were children, and the connections between La Casa del Zorro
and the neighboring communities are strong.

In 1960, newspaper magnate James Copley purchased La Casa del Zorro. New guest
accommodations were added, the first swimming pool was built, and the dining room was expanded.

Today, continued thoughtful and extensive renovations, which respect the unique character
and charm of the property, capture the historic echoes of the past. Present day luxuries and amenities,
including a full-service spa, complement the essence of La Casa del Zorro… an inviting retreat
for people who love the outdoors, appreciate gracious hospitality, and value the opportunity to spend
their time in a stunning natural setting.
